My wife recommended this book and I loved it. It reminded me of “And Then There Were None” by Agatha Christie, but isn’t too similar. Great book

I didn’t see the twist in this one, and it had me screaming. There isn’t much I can praise or criticize without giving stuff away.

I can say this ended up being a five star read for me DESPITE the FMC. She is almost willfully naive.

Frieda McFadden has me hooked.

This book was definitely a page turner and a quick read. I gave it 3.5 stars because after reading this book, there was nothing memorable about it. First things first, the FMC, Brooke is an idiot. So you mean to tell me that your son’s father gets sent to prison for murder and 10 years later, you recant your statement and he gets released ASAP? It doesn’t work like that in real life. All the warnings Tim gave her and she didn’t listen. She deserved everything she got. The old nurse at the prison said Shane was very manipulative; the guard at the prison warned her also and she still didn’t listen.

I can see how the Brooke thought Tim was behind the murders because of the different events that’s occurred, especially the situation that happened in the basement. One minute I thought it was Tim and the next Shane. The author did a great job of making you think one thing, and then BOOM she hits you with something else.

There were so many signs there when it came to Shane and Brooke was so oblivious to them. If someone that just got out of jail wants to take you back to the house where the murders were committed and take your son on a walk through the woods; without you, don’t you think that’s a red flag? She’s dumb for even going. I wouldn’t have even let that man stay with me until he got back on his feet. And she wasn’t crazy when she woke up in the middle of the night and thought that she heard her garage door opening. Shane went to go kill the guard from the prison. One thing I learned from this book, is you can’t trust anybody because they can paint this picture of being someone that they are not! The ending was a huge twist finding out everything. My fav part of this whole book, was the epilogue!

Wow! This book had me guessing constantly.
Brooke is a single mom trying her best to protect her son and give him the best she possibly can. She went through a traumatic experience in high school and is trying her best to avoid her past life….but it all comes barreling back into her as soon as she chooses to work for the prison. Such a wild and suspenseful book. It will definitely keep you guessing and thinking throughout!
